Yeah, I think he was trying to spin it, but there was a wake he didn't expect. No way he did that on purpose. Coulda killed the chickybabe if she hits her head on the windshield . . . (BTW I am not sexist, I love chickybabes)

What the heck is he doing with the throttle at the end?

That's the same thing I was confused about ^^^^ Maybe he wanted to insure that it got a decent gulp of water . . .

He definitely threw it into reverse. When he comes up out of the water it's in reverse and that's how he gets most of the water out of it; out the open bow. I think he cuts the wheel over and nails reverse to get the bow to dig in and I do believe it's done on "porpoise". Sorry, couldn't help myself :D

That boat musta had some serious weight in the bow or something, I think the throttle action was to keep the engine running. Very strange. JR

We get close to that everytime we use the Correct Craft in choppy water :eek:

Even just crossing your own wake on a calm day has to be done with caution compared to a normal boat

It sorta reminds me of those CarFax ads on t.v.. You know "Boat for sale Interior just cleaned" And I can't believe I'm not getting any reaction from my pun.

Just saw this . . . Read the posts below the vid. The guy posts that he definitely did not do it on porpoise.

TG kinda posted it in a weird place....:cool:

I watched it over and over and I see him spinning the wheel really hard. Can't quite see him pull back on the throttle.
KrAzY fer sure...:D

Not really, foaming is generally controversial...... As in it cant happen to me....just thought actualling see a boat dig in like that would be a good part of the thought process...;) or as Tommay say's open bow's at sea...:eek:

That happened to us this weekend due to a jackass in a 26' roaring out of the marina. It is a sickening feeling, especially with 5 people on board.

What is the proper method to try and avoid this?

I dunno about this. Notice that the girl turns face backwards just before he plants it.
